Osaka Bay Buffet

Osaka Bay occupies a stretch of Highway 192 used by visitors staying west of Kissimmee who want plenty of choice in one stop. The buffet combines sushi and sashimi, a seafood bar, Chinese and Japanese dishes, pho, salads and a hibachi station where a cook prepares the ingredients guests select. The range can solve a meal for a table with different tastes, although abundance does not guarantee that every tray will be at the same standard throughout the day.

Recent accounts collected by Restaurantji often praise the number of options, the dining room’s cleanliness and the sushi and hibachi stations; other diners have questioned the freshness or texture of some dishes, particularly the seafood. That variation between visits is more useful than an unqualified recommendation: people who value choice will likely find plenty to sample, while travellers with strong expectations for a particular preparation may prefer an à la carte restaurant. The restaurant reserves its unlimited format for dine-in guests; takeaway food is charged by weight.

The official menu lists weekday lunch at $15.99 per adult and dinner at $22.99; on weekends the dinner rate applies all day, at $27.99 per adult. Children are charged according to height, and the restaurant lists an automatic 15% gratuity for parties of six or more, including children. It opens at 11:30 a.m., closing at 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 10:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday. The address is 7598 W Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway. Families and larger groups should compare the full bill with a simpler lunch before choosing it.
